Seismic fragility of tall concrete wall structures in Malaysia under far-field earthquakes
Introduction: In recent years, the seismic vulnerability of structures in Malaysia has attracted the attention of researchers mainly because the majority of existing structures have not been designed for seismic actions. In this study, seismic vulnerability of tall concrete wall buildings has been i...
